Grading breaks even at that price with your 30% PSA 10 chance. Raw sells for $200.
Grading still beats selling raw at your odds while all grading costs stay under this.
If PSA 10s fall 94% from $8,214, grading stops paying at your 30% odds.

Crack it and send the raw card again, or sell the 9 as it is. A miss pays a second grading fee and usually comes back a 9 again.
Cracking pays if that chance is at least 1.1%. At 15%: +$889 versus selling the 9 for a net $173.
A card that graded 9 once is less likely to get a 10 than a fresh copy, so set this lower than you would for one. Cracking a slab can also damage the card.
